The 365 Day 1p Challenge 2023

enthusiasticsaver

Good luck on your new job @Coxy11. Love the sound of your LeJog trip. That is a challenge.

For those who have enjoyed doing this years challenge look out for the new thread for 2024 as I have been asked by the forum team to set up the challenge again next year. I will put up a link here to the new thread. There is about five weeks left of 2023 so on the homeward straight now. I am not sure I will reach my target this year but I do at least have a new car bought out of savings so I am not beating myself up about it.

Yayyy,  #19 reporting in that I've just made my final weeks' payment to get to the finish line - so satisfying to finish colouring in the chart.  Can't wait to get the tins opened up (I did two this year as had received a pay rise and didn't want the money to be wasted).  Tins for next year already purchased - just need to print off my calendar and colouring in sheet and I will be ready to go.

This challenge can be quite challenging if you get behind - but crossing the finish line is definitely worth it.

This has been a great introduction to the world of challenges on this forum. I’ve enjoyed committing to saving every month and reporting in this thread with updates….so thank you very much @enthusiasticsaver for organising and keeping this community so welcoming and encouraging in equal measure.

Ive decided I won’t be joining this challenge for 2024 ( sorry! ) but all is not lost as I am going to replace this challenge with the ‘12k in a year’ challenge instead 

In the meantime I’m just calculating what my final payment for this challenge in December will be.

Keep going everyone…every little helps!

Well done on finishing the challenge. Did you use physical cash?

Well done Andy and sorry you wont be joining us here but I will look out for you on the other thread.

I have just pushed £29.15 over to the savings space for the last November payment so now a total of £439.56 with £228.39 to go to finish the challenge.  I have coloured in up to £2.96 on my spreadsheet. That is a weekly payment of £45.68 so tad ambitious especially at this time of  year but will give it a go.

I did enthusiasticsaver.  So next Friday 1st December, I will be spending my evening opening up the tins, and getting all that lovely change  bagged up ready to be banked on Saturday morning - can't wait!!!

Of course, 1st December marks the start of another year for me, so I will get the big payment into my new tins next week.  Just makes it easier for Christmas as I get paid monthly so my December salary doesn't arrive until New Years Eve.

Good morning! 
#11 reporting in with the final monthly payment of £108.50 which completes my challenge.  Thank you so much for running this in 2023 @enthusiasticsaver
